    In the file manager for my WP site, I see it's all www-data. What permission mode does that translate to in numbers, 644?

    More context: I'm looking into security hardening my WP sites at the server level. Currently, I'm using Wordfence, but will be going a different route for performance's sake which led me to look into the permissions. My limited experience with permissions was mostly done via SFTP client (FileZilla). I don't see numbers in Cloudron's File manager though, so what does each "owner" translate to?

      The owner shown in the filemanager is the owner as such. Each file may have its own read/write/x for owner, group and other. To try to lock down permissions requires looking into each app and also the packaging. Also note that ideally all app code (WP, especially developer edition, are special here) is anyways in read-only mode.

      To get a better and detailed overview over ACLs set, the webterminal is the way to go.
